We are getting a lot of computer related threads lately, and I think it would be a good idea if we got a computer section so that we can centralize the computer content in this thread. I don't see any bad reasons for this. It could go in electronics catagories, where robotics and mcu are in.
A general computer forum is going to bring general computer users. And, as already stated, there are an enormous number of general computer forums already on the net.
The reason this site is great is because it specializes in the design and implementation of electronics, not the general use of them.
It's a specialized site and I think it should stay that way.
